Chapter 357: Dusk Tomb
boom!
The Air-Splitting War Bear slapped a group of skeleton soldiers into pieces with one slap, clapped his hands lightly to brush off the bone fragments stuck on his fur, and then continued to move forward.
"Not bad, the flexibility of the movements has improved a lot, and there will be no problem in normal combat."
Surrounded by seven ferocious beasts, Bai Qi sat comfortably in the car evolved by Shuke and gave Cordyceps a thumbs up.
"Thank you for the compliment, Chief. I will continue to work hard."
After receiving Bai Qi's recognition, Cordyceps became more and more excited. The sun disk on its carapace continued to emit dazzling sunlight, dispelling the darkness in the tomb.
The big tomb is connected in all directions, and there is a fork in the road every few steps. However, Bai Qi has no intention of running around, he just walks along one road until the end.
So far, the only undead creatures that have appeared are the lowest-level skeleton soldiers and vengeful spirits, so Bai Qi simply used it as a training ground for Cordyceps. Although it is a bit boring, it is not a waste of time.
"But when will this road end?"
Bai Qi looked at the deep road that still had no end and couldn't help but complain.
Ahhhhhhh…
(I think we should find a way out. I’m a bit bored…)
Click, click.
(Gamma thought so too. He hadn’t eaten for two hours and was a little hungry.)
Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this, looked at Alpha and Husky, and said, "Let's speed up the exploration."
Crunch.
(receive.)
Ahhhh!
(It's time to show my powerful strength!)
The two pets obeyed the order at the same time, and Beta rushed out first, howling and then killing into the seemingly endless skeleton soldiers in the passage.
Beta's claws were raised and lowered, and the power of thunder and fire was rampant. Almost no skeleton soldier could survive wherever it passed. Occasionally, there were lucky skeletons that were not hit on the head, and Beta did not forget to turn around and give them another claw.
This efficiency far exceeds the combined efficiency of the previous seven ferocious beasts.
"This is more or less a personal grudge."
Looking at Beta who was having fun in the skeleton army, Bai Qi smiled helplessly and looked at Alpha. However, Alpha did not look anxious at all. Instead, he summoned six sword servants and began to explore other areas.
The Lich Tomb is filled with shadow power, which can easily affect the communication of machines, but for the Six Swordsmen, who are originally undead creatures, it is like a fish in water, and the scope of exploration has suddenly expanded.
As for Alpha, he still stood there quietly, constantly receiving information from the Six Sword Servant.
Crunch.
(Boss, I found the exit.)
“So soon?”
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and saw that Alpha's five sword servants of gold, wood, water, earth and dark had all run back, except the fire sword servant.
"The Fire Sword Servant is damaged?"
Bai Qi frowned slightly. Although he was not sure whether the damage to the Six Sword Servant would cause harm to Alpha, referring to the situation after the Beastmaster lost his contract position, there might be some impact.
Crunch.
(The Fire Sword Servant has drained my energy. I am fine for now.)
"That's good, let's hurry over there."
Bai Qi nodded, waved to Beta who was still having fun on the side, and quickly headed towards the Fire Sword Servant's position with the other pets.
Huh?
(Before being beaten by Stinky Bones?)
Beta, who had been having fun, finally reacted and wanted to catch up with the others, but was stopped by Jerry.
"Keep looking forward, there seems to be something else there."
A strange light flashed in Jerry's dark golden eyes. He took control of the body and walked towards the depths of the passage.
…
Under the guidance of Alpha, Bai Qi finally walked out of the seemingly endless passage and came to a spacious hall.
Although it is called a hall, it actually looks more like an abandoned warehouse, with broken furniture everywhere.
It is obvious that humanoid creatures once lived here.
In the center of the hall, a fire sword servant whose whole body was covered in flames was wielding a flaming sword and fighting against a skeleton holding an ice sword.
"Ice Swordsman? No, this one seems a bit stronger."
Bai Qi looked at it from a distance, but was unable to recognize the origin of this ice skeleton.
Crunch.
(Boss, this is a lord-level Arctic Warrior.)
【Name】：Arctic Warrior
[Attributes]: Ice, Undead
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: The undead were born in an extremely cold land. The cold did not deprive them of their ability to move, but instead gave them stronger combat power.
…
"Lord level, no wonder the Fire Armor Sword Servant wants to mobilize your abilities."
Bai Qi nodded. The six sword servants were all elite level, so it would be a bit difficult for them to deal with a lord level alone.
After all, the Six Swordsmen don't have evolution eggs like Alpha to help improve their racial values.
"But in the future, we can consider brushing up the racial value of the Six Sword Servant . After all, they have reached a contract with Alpha, so maybe they can be of some help."
Seeing that the Fire Armor Sword Servant had managed to tie with the Arctic Warrior with the help of Alpha's power, Bai Qi also thought about upgrading the Six Sword Servant.
Originally, it was thought that the Six Sword Attendants would be upgraded along with the Alpha, so Bai Qi was too lazy to waste resources. But now it seems that except for the Alpha race evolving and upgrading the Six Sword Attendants, there doesn't seem to be much effect under normal circumstances.
Although it's just a pendant, it never hurts to have a stronger pendant.
"Alpha, let the six sword servants attack together and make this a quick and decisive battle."
Crunch.
(OK.)
A flash of fire appeared in Alpha's eyes, and the other sword servants rushed forward and attacked the Arctic Warrior.
The six sword servants attacked together, and the pressure on the Arctic Warrior increased suddenly. The lord-level deterrence skills were of no use to the six sword servants who were Alpha's followers. Instead, he was beaten into a state of confusion by the six sword servants who cooperated with each other so well.
With six attributes matched with runes, the Six Sword Servant can exert strength far beyond their peers. Coupled with the seamless cooperation, finally, after another defensive mistake, they fell into a completely passive position.
Snap!
Finally, the Arctic Warrior was trapped by the Earth Armor Sword Servant. The Fire Armor Sword Servant immediately seized the opportunity, transformed into a flaming sword, and directly chopped off the Arctic Warrior's head.
Without the protection of the head, the Arctic Warrior's soul flame was completely exposed to the air, swaying in the air, and then, as if it had received some call, it took the initiative to float towards Alpha.
However, Alpha obviously had no intention of letting the flame get close to him. With a slight wave of his hand, the power of shadow broke up the soul flame and divided it into six parts, which fell in front of the six sword servants respectively.
The Six Sword Servant did not resist like Alpha, but allowed the soul fire to merge into their bodies. The soul fire in their heads suddenly became much larger.
"Tsk tsk, the souls of losers are only fit to be devoured by the victors. Should we say this is worthy of being called the Great Tomb of Liches?"
Seeing that the Arctic Warrior ended up being eaten, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The secret realm built by this legendary creature is indeed very different from the secret realm built by humans. No matter what type of secret realm the human race has, it is more or less based on inheritance, while those built by these creatures are basically just a private territory.
Looking at the runes slowly unfolding in front of him, Bai Qi was about to enter the next level, but suddenly found that the Husky did not follow him.
Ahhhh!
(I found it!)
At this moment, Beta's voice suddenly came from Bai Qi's mind. Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the Husky had run away.
"What did this guy find again?"
Following the information conveyed by Beta, Bai Qi continued along the original path and soon saw another huge talisman formation. In the center of the talisman formation, a ghost emitting cold air was gradually becoming dim.
When Jerry saw Bai Qi and others arrive, a light flashed in his eyes, and a stream of information flooded into Bai Qi's head.
"Legendary Lich Twilight... The Great Underground Tomb... The Gatekeeper... Control..."
Bai Qi slowly digested the data passed by Jerry, and at the same time he also gained a simple understanding of the large tomb they were in.
To put it simply, this huge underground tomb was built by the legendary lich Twilight thousands of years ago. It is divided into nineteen floors in total. As long as you defeat the guardian of each floor, you can gain control of that floor.
However, there is a prerequisite, that is, only undead creatures can take over control.
The Arctic Warrior solved by the Six Sword Servant and the Ice Ghost solved by Jerry are the guardians of this level. Only by eliminating these two gatekeepers at the same time can they gain control of this level and open the passage to the next level.
Otherwise, the best you can do is gain access to the next level.
"So we have gained control of a secret realm?"
Bai Qi glanced at the dim environment around him with some disdain. Although it was good to gain control of a layer of the secret realm so easily, Bai Qi really had no interest in this kind of environment.
But it is good for training the Six Sword Servant.
"This floor seems to be used only to raise the lowest level of undead creatures. Its defense is indeed quite low."
Jerry nodded, then spit out a triangular stone with strange runes carved on it and threw it to Bai Qi, saying, "This is the control center of this floor. Beastmaster, you can handle it."
Bai Qi took the triangular stone and felt a chill running through his palm. He quickly threw it to Alpha and said, "Alpha, keep it first and we'll talk later."
This underground tomb has nineteen floors. According to the information they currently have, it is equivalent to having nineteen secret realms that can be controlled. Maybe they can exchange one or two .
"I suddenly feel like it."
Bai Qi stretched lazily, looked at the slowly rotating teleportation array in front of him, and said, "It's just right, let's have a long-awaited intra-team battle."
"An internal battle within the team?"
Several pet beasts looked at each other, obviously not understanding why their beastmaster was suddenly so motivated .
"How about ranking them by the number of control centers they have obtained, and then using the rankings to determine the order in which legendary resources will be used in the future?"
"It's called... The Battle for the Great Dusk Tomb!"
